Chapter 53: The Grand Ceremony
The next morning, in the center of Bangkok, the Shangdu government held a grand inaugural ceremony for Ji Kefeng.
When we arrived at the scene, Tang Shuxing, who was attending the scene, was stunned by the scene in front of us. The original central square was renovated, and a bronze statue of the three masters of Shangdu was erected in the middle. A Shangdu national flag was hung in the middle of the bronze statue.
, Below is the podium, and on the left is the viewing platform - these seem to be cast with magic overnight.
"Don't be so surprised, this bronze statue started to be cast three years ago." The envoy walked to Tang Shuxing and whispered, "We used a third party to entrust North Korea to cast it. You must know that they are in arms trading and gold trading, etc.
After the means of earning foreign exchange were curbed by the international community, they began to make money by exporting labor and casting bronze statues to maintain their government's shadow economy. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer... This bronze statue cost us more than 30 million.
, but I think it's worth it."
Tang Shuxing remained silent, standing there looking at the countless people waving the Shangdu flag around the square. To be precise, they should be the believers of the Shangdu religion, and the original national flags of 11 Southeast Asian countries were still planted around the square.
Know what the purpose is.
Ji Kefeng, dressed in Shangdu military uniform, stood on the side of the podium, politicians and celebrities from all over the world who came to congratulate him. Some of these people converted to Shangdu religion in their early years, and the rest immediately after Shangdu fully controlled Southeast Asia.
Dedication and surrender.
Facing Ji Kefeng, a rookie in Shangdu who can control their life and death in the future, the surrendered politicians and celebrities racked their brains and said flattery. Some of them shed tears until they acted, but they almost didn't use urinary incontinence to express their excitement.
They all said that today is the most important day of their lives, and they swear to the sky without any false words.
Of course, in their life experiences, similar words must have been said more than a hundred times.
Tang Shuxing, Gu Huaiyi, He Chenxue, and Ami sat in the viewing platform next to the podium, wearing dresses, like four dolls accompanying them. On both sides of them, two teams changed their suits, but in the clothes
The soldiers of the Shangdu Defense Army, who still hid a miniature submachine gun, were in charge of these soldiers, and the one responsible for the safety of the venue today was Xia Jiezhu.
Xia Jiezhu, who put on heavy makeup but still couldn't hide her tired face, stood under the viewing platform, walking back and forth from time to time, looking vigilantly at the crowd below, listening to the observation posts around the wires and messages sent by the snipers
.
Last night, the secret envoy pushed Tang Shuxing like a game. He Chenxue and Xia Jiezhu all pushed into a luxurious suite. Then he closed the door and said in a deep voice outside the door: "The dream of spring is gone without trace, everyone.
cherish."
Of course, nothing happened last night, and the three of them just kept their distance. They sat in their chosen position, lowered their heads, and had their own thoughts, waiting until dawn.
Fortunately, the sun always rises so quickly in the coastal areas.
The secret envoy stepped forward. He boasted about Ji Kefeng in front of the group of surrendered politicians and celebrities, and then signaled everyone to take their seats. Then he went on stage and said a few brief words, roughly meaning that he had decided when the time was set for Shangdu Federation.
On the National Day of the Republic, the troops of various countries were reorganized for the Shangdu National Defense Forces, and then signaled that the officers wearing regular uniforms of the 11 countries should pull out the 11 national flags and walk under the bronze statue.
"From today, Southeast Asia will have no distinction between borders, no disputes, no contradictions, and only the sincerity of everyone working together to build the future." After the secret envoy said that, the flag bearer took down the 11 national flags and folded them carefully.
Put it under the bronze statue and then line it up and leave.
"Sheng Shangdu's flag and play the national anthem!" The secret envoy stood at attention, and then all the guests on the viewing platform and everyone around him stood up neatly.
Immediately afterwards, the floor below the bronze statue slowly opened. The band appeared before everyone. As the secret envoy waved his hand, the band began to play the national anthem of Shangdu. The secret envoy started to lead the singing with the gestures of the Shangdu Christians-
“The three heroes of Shangdu who are admired by all people will always burn no matter the sunrise and sunset;
The hope of all mankind is tightly held in our hands.
The guardian of peace, the defender of freedom;
Harbor in the storm, beacon in the darkness.
The three heroes of Shangdu who protect all the people, no matter how warm and cold, our passion will boil for you;
The expectations of the whole world, the different skin colors of the mainland form a gorgeous rainbow that welcomes the future.
We are fearless, we are omnipotent;
We sing hymns, and we sing poems.
We are unwavering! We are unwavering!"
...
Tang Shuxing can't sing at all, and Gu Huaiyi, He Chenxue and Ami around him, of course, they can't sing, but the others are different, especially those so-called guests, who sing so passionately, and they are all full of tears.
.
After the national anthem was sung, the national flag was raised, and the scene became slightly quiet, but what I heard was a burst of excitement.
Immediately afterwards, the secret envoy announced the order that Ji Kefeng would become a new regional regulator. After the announcement was completed, the entire square boiled again!
Tang Shuxing, who was sitting there, was stunned. After Gu Huaiyi's reminder, he quickly stood up. Then within the next ten minutes, he finally realized what applause was like for a long time - everyone below was numb.
, but no one stopped. Some people almost didn't say hello to their faces with their hands to make a "slap" sound.
Ji Kefeng, who walked onto the podium with the secret envoy gesture, did not make a quiet gesture, but waited for the secret envoy to issue an order.
Finally, the secret envoy who had enjoyed the applause waved his hand and stopped. After this action, the following moments were silent. After another gesture, everyone sat down neatly, like a puppet controlled by him.
This series of actions made Ji Kefeng more clear that the management rights of this new adaptation zone were on the surface in his own hands, but in fact in the hands of the secret envoy. He was just a puppet and enjoyed nothingness.
After the secret envoy left the podium, Ji Kefeng cleared his throat slightly and looked at the audience and said, "The Federal Republic of Shangdu has finally been established. Under the guidance of the three masters of the true god Shangdu, under the correct leadership of the secret envoy, we founded this.
A beautiful and free country. In the future, there will be no injustice, inequality, and no wars or disputes on this land. The people of the 11 countries that were once forced to separate due to different religions and cultures have finally been reunited again
Let’s stand together and create a future that will only be a better one!”
This speech was recited by Ji Kefeng last night. He kept reciting it all night. Ami stared at her eyes wide and turned her back to him with a frightened expression. Listening to him practicing passionately in the room.
The illusion that Ji Kefeng was possessed by something.
After Ji Kefeng finished speaking, he paused a little, made the gesture of Shangdu Cult, and shouted loudly: "The three masters of Shangdu are supreme!"
"Supreme-" The believers and the guests stood up and shouted slogans together.
"Long live the Federal Republic of Shangdu!" Ji Kefeng shouted again, and the people below immediately repeated loudly.
"Lead the world's humans out of the shadow of doomsday!" Ji Kefeng shouted.
The scene was boiling again, and many people were shouting hoarsely, still shouting, holding up their arms and waving the Shangdu flag in their hands.
Tang Shuxing, who was standing behind, felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. He thought that the ceremony would end after the slogan, but he did not expect that all this was just the beginning of today's event. Then the four of them followed the secret envoy.
I boarded the modified ornate float with Ji Kefeng and started parading.
Ji Kefeng and the envoy stood at the top of the float, waved his hand to the people holding the small national flag of Shangdu, holding flowers and waving the flag along the way, and shouted from time to time, "Long live the Federal Republic of Shangdu."
People on the roadside kept throwing the flowers in their hands towards the top of the float. The float had not yet left the square for two hundred meters away, and the convenience on the float had been completely submerged by the flowers. It was very difficult for Ji Kefeng and the secret envoy to move their feet.
Behind the float, countless Shangdu scholars were crying and shouting with excitement. They knelt down along the way, shouted slogans, and regarded the secret envoy and Ji Kefeng as spokespersons of the true god in the world.
"It's so scary!" Tang Shuxing in the car murmured with his head down, feeling that his head was about to explode.
"Scary? I feel used to it." Gu Huaiyi, who was sitting opposite, looked at him coldly, "In human history, there are countless similar scenes. In the history of every country, people like this are regarded as saviors, and everyone is doing it.
Crazy, this is the commonality of human beings. How many people can do it? Everyone is drunk and I am awake alone? Very few, so some people are saviors, some people are heroes, and some people are destined to become great men. These words have
The same meaning, but in the same context and on different people, there are different definitions.”
He Chenxue and Ami continued to remain silent. Although they were both wearing gorgeous clothes, the expressions and numb limbs on their faces were like attending Ji Kefeng's funeral - no one expected that the direction of things would be like this.
crazy.
The float walked along the main streets of Bangkok and was supposed to be over, but the crazy believers were still begging. Helplessly, the secret envoy had to order the float to circle the city again. After walking two circles, it was considered temporary.
Satisfied these crazy people.
When the float finally stopped in front of the new adaptation area office building, Tang Shuxing and others were almost exhausted, but Ji Kefeng and the secret envoy were still energetic. Before getting off the car, Ji Kefeng kept giving in, standing aside, indicating
The secret envoy got off the bus first and followed him.
As long as he walks on the road, Ji Kefeng will always stand half a meter behind the secret envoy, maintaining this distance. When some people pretend to be neither humble nor arrogant, but when there are no outsiders, they will lower their heads slightly and look like they are ruthless.
The secret envoy was tired and asked everyone to leave for a while to rest. Tang Shuxing quickly walked to Ji Kefeng. As soon as he walked up, he was stopped by Xia Jiezhu and asked him, "What are you going to do!"
"I have something to say to him!" Tang Shuxing did not expect Xia Jiezhu to be so loyal and loyal.
Chapter completed!
